“Mr Hughes's current claim of "bisexuality" has the whiff of artful centrist positioning about it: bi- is the proportional representation of sexuality in a world where most of us - straight or gay - operate a first-past-the-post system.” WorldFirstsPastGaySexualityPostsRepresentationBisexualityProportional Representation Author:Mark Steyn
“...Baltimore. It's imperfect. Boy, is it imperfect. And there are parts of its past that make you wince. It's not all marble steps and waitresses calling you 'hon,' you know. Racial strife in the sixties, the riots during the Civil War. F. Scott Fitzgerald said it was civilized and gay, rotted and polite. The terms are slightly anachronistic now, but I think he was essentially right.” ThinkingKnowsSaidWarPastTermStepsBoysCallingGayCivil WarCivilizedImperfectSixtyPoliteStrifeRiotMarbleWaitressBaltimoreWinceScott FitzgeraldDuring The Civil War Author:Laura Lippman

“Black pride. Gay pride. White, Anglo-Saxon Protestant pride. All of these things, you know, they're polarized, aren't they? The red and blue states. Christians, that's the most insidious aspect of it, giving into this great Christian image of America. That's the most frightening thing of all. Whereas in the past they're trying to find things that unite us, to minimize the differences. Whereas today there's this belief in empowerment and entitlement by maximizing differences. I'm not so sure that that's healthy.” GivingTryingTodayChristianPastBeliefBlackPrideHealthyGayEmpowermentFrighteningEntitlementGiving In Author:Robert Towne
“I came out as a gay as I have earned myself respect as an athlete. I have only lost 2 out of 22 professional fights. I knocked out some of my opponents in the first round. But I never really received respect as a person. That's something I had come to realize over the past few years. The end of my boxing career is no longer that far off, and it was time for me to make peace with myself. And there was a second reason for me to come out: I hoped it would make me a better boxer.” ReasonPastFightingRealizingGayAthleteBoxingSelf RespectOver The PastMaking Peace Author:Orlando Cruz
